Cara Delevingne is the British
model that everyone is talking about right now. In recent months I have heard
and seen more and more of her as she is making her way to the top of the
fashion world. Besides at least 50% of all Tumblr photos are photos of her.:)))

I remembered Cara from her days
as an Asos model - even then she caught my eye. She has one of those unforgettable
faces – a natural blonde with incredible, light green eyes and dark caterpillar
eyebrows, the perfect contrasts – a strange, almost hypnotizing beauty. And, as
it turns out, important designers agree as she is now strutting her stuff on
every big runway out there.

She began her modeling career
when she was 17 and she’s now 20 years old. Her debut runway show was for
Clements Ribeiro during spring 2012 at London Fashion Week. After that it was the
Burberry show in New York and they liked her so much that she ended up as the
new face of the fashion house.

That's why Cara Delevingne walked almost exclusively for Burberry and Burberry Prorsum
for spring summer 2012 but the next season she was everywhere from Chanel,
Stella McCartney, Cacharel to Sonia Rykiel, DKNY, Dolce & Gabbana and more.

You may also
remember Cara being part of Victoria's
Secret fashion show in 2012. And all of this work didn’t go unnoticed as British
Vogue described her as the "star face" of the autumn/winter 2012-2013
show season. She was also ranked #25 on models.com's 50 Top Models and won
Model Of The Year 2012 at the British Fashion Awards.

And let’s not
forget about the small part she played inAnna Karenina, as Princess Sorokina,
the marriage interest of Count Vronsky who was played by the amazing Aaron
Taylor-Johnson whom I love.
It’s also rumored she almost got the role of
Éponine in Les Misérables but in the end Samantha Barks landed the
part instead.

Right now Cara
Delevingne is the face of Chanel's Resort 2013 campaign and is booked for every
major show in the Fashion Week Circuit.

Besides modeling and acting Cara Delevingne
is interested in music as well and it’s been said Simon Fueller (the "Pop
Idol"/"American Idol" creator) it’s set on transforming her into
a pop sensation.

This last year she also graced
the cover of some of the most prestigious fashion magazines: Vogue, Love, British
Vogue, Harper's Bazaar's, Numero.

She definitely
was a busy bee and I’m sure that’s going to escalade, the fashion world always
ends up going crazy for some girl and this is pretty much the case now.

It helps that
she is a London socialite. Cara Delevingne is the youngest of three sisters (Cara is 20, Poppy is 26 and Chloe is 28) and was born in rich British family.

Her sister Poppy Delevingne is also a famous British
model and the duo is often seen on red carpets, at music festivals and fashion
weeks and is frequently featured on the party pages of British Vogue and The Telegraph.

In fact the Delevingne sisters are rich, blue- blooded and can compete with the
Middleton sisters as far as the media coverage goes – the gossip columnists
live to write about them.

Cara is the
granddaughters of former English Heritage boss, Sir Jocelyn Stevens, who also
founded the Caroline radio station, was the director of the London Evening
Standard and later the Daily Express and the proprietor-editor of The Queen
magazine. His first wife Janie Sheffield was lady-in-waiting to Princess
Margaret.

Cara Delevingne
and her sisters had a privileged life from birth living in London's Mayfair
and are friends with the Jaggers and Lily Allen's family. Cara’s godmother, Joan
Collins, even come up with a clever nickname for this three: the ‘Dynasty
Sisters’. Catchy, right?

Apparently they know everybody
and their mother, from royalty to movie and music stars. Chloe has a degree in
biomedical sciences, she is a nightclub entrepreneur and is almost always
included in Britain's most powerful lists, Cara is friends with Princess
Beatrice, Alexa Chung,
Rita Ora,
Rihanna,
Azealia Banks and Poppy used to live with Sienna Miller.

Although they never officially confirmed
(or denied) it Cara Delevingne and One Direction's Harry Styles were causally
dating for a few months last year (they were photographed on a number of dates between
July and September 2012). It’s rumored that she dumped him because her agency/management
team considered this relationship made her an even bigger tabloid target and Styles
was too “low rent” for Cara. I do agree she can do better than Harry Styles (who’s
famously getting over anybody in 5 seconds and can always find a cougar to comfort
him if needed).

I’m not trying to make her seem like an angel here as she has a
reputation for being a party animal and has been see intoxicated in public before (just note she is of legal drinking age in Britain).

She also seem very funny and goofy!

There is no doubt that she has a
great career in front of her, I’m sure her profile is going to rise even higher
this year and her famous entourage is only going to help her get anything she
wants.

Cara has her fair share of haters
who think the only reason she made it as a model is herrich family who bought her way into fashion
using either money or all the connections and friendships they have with famous
people. Maybe she started like that (cause let’s be honest thinks do work that way
many times) and got her foot in the door via her parents, but there’s no
denying Cara Delevingne is extremely beautiful and has that special quality
that makes a great model.

And let’s face it- right now Cara Delevingne has it all - she is young, beautiful and rich. She’s the
girl who’s life every teenager out there wants to live. She is the next big thing!

Anaivilo - I guess it's a matter of taste - I actually love the caterpillar eyebrows, I love Lily Collins as well, I wish I had eyebrows like that!:)))))The Hearabouts - Omg, you're totally right, I forgot to mention that in the article, but I feel the same, too much is too much, than again- she's 20 years old!:)

Yeah, i do believe she bought her way into the fashion world through her connections and money, it also helps she's got a lot of media attention, but if she's hard to work with, that'll get her nowhere. She's beautiful and she is working her ass of as a model. Good for her, that she's making a life of her own!Loved this article!
